It's been 19 years since the Penguins player has graced the cover of EA Sports NHL video game when Mario Lemieux was chosen for the cover of NHL Penguins, 2002. Every year the fans hope this will be the year that one of their hometown superstar will be selected, but each and every time they were left disappointed.
Over the past few years, EA Sports NHL Awards ceremony used to reveal the cover athlete for the latest installment of the company long-running NHL series simulation game releases of the year. Generally, the awards ceremony was held on the third Thursday of June (which will be 18 in June), but for obvious reasons, there will be no ceremony this season, meaning EA must announce its NHL 21 cover athlete himself. While everyone waited patiently for EA NHL 21 cover star announced, fans can speculate about who may be chosen by video game giant to grace the cover of a video game hockey series flagship.
From the perspective of the Penguins, there is a litany of options for decision makers at EA Sports to choose from. Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin and Kris Letang stand out as the obvious choice but there are other options that people might overlook.
Before succumbing back injury in January, Jake Guentzel is the tour de force and is on pace to eclipse the plateau 40 goals for the second time in a few seasons. In addition, he did a lot of damage without the help of Sidney Crosby as the center and the newly elected for the first NHL All-Star Game.
In what was supposed to be only a third full season in the NHL, it became clear Guentzel no fluke as players and more than just a product of Sidney Crosby. Jake is becoming a bona fide superstar in the NHL and a decent league wide recognition for his play.
What better way to get him some much praise worthy than the cover athlete made his most notable game video game? Naturally, Guentzel may not have all the cover athlete award before like Matthews or Connor McDavid, but he has shown for a short time in the NHL that he is an elite player worthy of praise.
